The Raila Odinga-led Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party wants the Registrar of Political Parties Ann Nderitu to help unlock the deadlock among National Super Alliance (Nasa) partners over coalition funds.
The latest move, according to insiders, has been triggered by the Nasa principals’ failure to discuss the matter prompted by a protest letter by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to Raila and copied to Ms Nderitu.
The leaders have been at loggerheads, accusing ODM of refusing to share the political parties funds as per Section 13(b) of Nasa agreement.
ODM Threatens To Abandaon BBI If Kibicho is Involved
The Raila Odinga-led Orange Democratic Movement(ODM) wants Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho out of Building Bridges Initiatives (BBI) campaign programmes or else they will abandon the referendum push.
Through Minority Whip in the National Assembly Junet Mohamed, the party issued an ultimatum to President Uhuru Kenyatta to remove Kibicho.
Junet told the
Sunday Nation the President has to choose between their input in the push to amend the Constitution and his powerful PS whom they accuse of hijacking the BBI secretariat and sabotaging it.
“If he must continue meddling in the work of the secretariat if he must continue dictating how we do the work, if he is that indispensable, we will be left with no choice but to abandon BBI. (Mr) Kibicho is causing political constipation and we are not afraid of telling him that,” Junet told the daily.
